My first reaction was "Huh? What? Here? Now? Oh yeah, it's NBC." And I turned the channel. I had tuned in to catch the score, not hear from some hypocrite who travels with an armed entourage protecting him. And I found the way Costas came across, stating that drivel so matter-of-factly as if it were gospel, particularly galling. What a fool. It reminded me of his Jerry Sandusky interview debacle on NBC and how that played out -- very disturbing.
It also told me how weak in the mind both Costas and Whitlock are to actually believe that tripe -- to openly admit they cannot even trust themselves to control their will, act with discipline, nor show reason when baited or tempted. It's a good thing that they themselves are not armed. It reminds me of that sign (see below) by the anti-Obama gun store Southwest Shooting Authority that states Obama voters are "not welcome" there because they're "not responsible enough to own a firearm." Both Costas and Whitlock certainly fall into that category.

But in the Culture War, Bob Costas achieved his objective -- he got to spout off to a national TV audience -- no matter how many times he has since pretended to walk back what he said. Don't believe him. And don't expect him to use that very same NBC platform again -- Sunday night in the middle of a football game -- and offer up a sincere retraction because we all know that'll never happen.
A more important question that certainly still begs to be asked is "Where was Bob Costas -- or NBC for that matter -- when Barack Obama was giving away "Fast and Furious" guns to that drug cartel scum that leaves body parts behind as calling cards?!?"
